Pertaining to theater employees. When an employee prematurely cleans the popcorn popper, then worries later on about running out of popcorn for the later showings of films and having to start up the popper, then clean it a second time at the end of the night.

Joel: She cleaned the popper and now thinks we'll have to start it to make more later and she doesn't want to clean it again.

Shawn: Sounds like a bad case of popcorn paranoia to me.
Lauren: OH GOD!!!
